Car damaged by object on I-459

HOOVER, Ala. (WIAT) — Police in Hoover received a report Thursday afternoon of an object possibly being thrown from an overpass and hitting a vehicle.

Captain Gregg Rector says the incident reportedly occurred on Interstate 459 Southbound between Exit 150 and Exit 6. Rector says a vehicle sustained a crushed hood. Thankfully, the damage was caused from a tire that blew out on the interstate and not an object thrown from an overpass as was initially believed to be the case.
